The birth of Capitalism & Big Business

[Murgen]

You've made your bed!

I get a kick out of all the Americans on this site that have a problem with big business.

I have to ask, where did it start? Has it not been of your own making?

have you not, and still, benefiting from it?

Some say it is a natural evolution of capitalism. I say the laws of the land are not being enforced so the big boys can have a free ride when doing wrong.

You're right Econ. We have laws tht will help keep corporate power in check which would benefit the working people but we have bought out politicians who ignore those laws. Yep we've got a broken -do nothing Congress. I hope this election awakens some of them but I am not very optimistic that will happen even if the Dems do take control of the House.

Don't forget judges in that critique.

The dems are not making it an issue as much in the campaigns and that is one reason to be a little pessimistic.

I think that if you really drew a list of the pros and cons, you would see that selling out for big business has far less benefits than any gains we've gotten.
